An internationally recognized Indian reporter has died unexpectedly after suffering a sudden heart attack at 54 years old.
Pankaj Khelkar, a reporter for English language news outlet India Today, dropped dead over the weekend, according to reports.
Khelkar became a prominent figure during the pandemic due to his promotion of Covid vaccines.
The reporter, who was popular among English-speaking Indians around the world, warned the public that they must “stop the spread” of Covid by taking the experimental shots.
In April 2021, Khelkar shared a photo of himself receiving the Covid jab on social media.
He also live-streamed it.
Sharing a picture of himself getting the injection, Khelkar wrote: “I took the vaccine. Did you?”
“Be responsible,” he warned.
“Take the vaccine.”

“Om Shanti. Go well, my friend.”
Shivajinagar MLA Siddharth Shirole expressed his grief, saying:
“Deeply saddened by the untimely demise of Senior Journalist and Reporter Pankaj Khelkar @Pkhelkarji.
“May God give strength to his family members to bear this irreparable loss.”

The news comes after several prominent pro-vax figures have suddenly died recently.
As Slay News reported, a prominent doctor, who used social media to pressure the public into taking Covid mRNA vaccines, has died suddenly at just 43 years old.
Dr. Vicky Jennings, from South Africa, was an internationally recognized trauma surgeon.
The mother of two passed away unexpectedly earlier this month after reportedly suffering a fatal heart attack.
Jennings often posted pro-vaccine propaganda that urged people to take Covid mRNA injections.
According to Jennings, raising concerns about the safety of the shots is “deadly” and considered “disinformation.”
Jennings also posted when she received her own injections, encouraging others to do so.
In one post, she even mocked so-called “anti-vaxxers.”
“Waiting to grow my unicorn horn now, and maybe Bill Gates can start tracking my fascinating life,” she mocked after taking the shot herself.
Meanwhile, a Canadian pro-vaccine journalist also died suddenly recently, as Slay News reported.
Corporate media journalist Ian Vandaelle died at just 33 years old.
Vandaelle died after being hospitalized and “declared neurologically dead,” his family revealed.
He was known to many on social media for his controversial pro-Covid vaccine posts on Twitter, now known as X.
Vandaelle advocated for vaccine passports and mandates and called for the firing of anyone who refused the injections.
He also suggested that unvaccinated people should be arrested and taken away to concentration camps by their governments.
